It is ascribed by tradition to Siddharaj Jaisinghji.of Anhilwara (1094-1143). The walls were repaired and strengthened by Sultan Bahadur Shah of Gujarat (1526-36) in 944 A.H.(1533 A.D.) A ditch was also ordered to be dug round the fort for the protection of the town. The ditch was supplied with water from the ~armada and also from the tanks Pata Talav and Ratan Talav. In 1660, under the orders of the emperor Aurangzeb, parts of the walls were thrown down but 25 years later the same monarch was forced to rebuild them to save the town from Maratha assaults. The fort had several gates both on the landside and the riverside. Some on the riverside are still in existence. The fort area is about 3,84,000 sq.yards. Victoria Clock This clock tower was built in A.D. 1906 at a cost of Rs. 12,906 (public contribution Rs. 8,073 and municipal contribution Rs. 4,833) in memory of the Late Queen Victoria. It is a four - storeyed tower with agasi (terrace), the height being 115 feet. On the fourth floor of the building is a big clock, striking quarter of an hour, half an hour, three fourth of an hour and an hour. It faces all the four directions. For visibility at night, there is an electric light arrangement also. The building is managed by municipality and is situated on a good a elevated place facing the river, which gives it an imposing appearance.
